It is so exciting to be able to serve God with this year of my life and I am so grateful to you all for the prayer support you will provide for me.
The brief outline of my Gap year is that I am currently spending 4 months at the Oakes until Christmas, followed by a Ski guide training Scheme with the Christian outdoors company Abernethy, followed by a 6 month DTS (Discipleship Training Scheme) with YWAM (youth with a mission) with outreach in Africa. I will touch more upon these in later prayer letters.
I have spent just over a month here at the Oakes and Praise God for a really great month. I have loved getting to know the team and living with them all. During this month we’ve spent some time in Abersoch getting to know each other, followed by all the training we needed to be able to lead camps. We have also had 3 camps so far which have all gone really well. Aside from the camps we have work days around the house and grounds and study days which have also been really good. We have the half term camp coming up and many more to look forward to including some discipleship camps in the run up to Christmas.
Praise
• For a really great summer, God showed and taught me so much and it was so much fun.
• For the team here at the Oakes, that everyone gets on so well and we really enjoy living and working together.
• For 3 great camps so far and for all the kids that heard the Gospel a fresh.
Prayer for…….
• Further bonding of the team as we get used to everyday life at the Oakes.
• For the kids that are coming on camp, that they would have a great time but also that God would prepare their hearts and minds to hear his good news.
• My own personal growth that I would continue to learn more and live a life worthy of his name.
• For finances as I am not sure where all the funds for my whole gap year are coming from.
Thank you so much for your time and prayers. Here at the Oakes I have already been really encouraged by the prayer I have seen at work.
